Hi all
I am seeking information about my great grandfather's roots. I know he grew up in Kingussie but lived most of his life in Australia. While known as Alexander, I think his real name was Alister McIntosh (b.1861). His parents were, I think, James MacIntosh (b.1825) and Margaret Meldrum (b.1829 d.1865). His siblings were, as far as I know: Isabella (b.1848), Catherine (b.1850), Jessie (b.1853), Donald (b.1855), James (b.1858) and Robert (b.1863).
I'd be very grateful to see some census information about this family - doesn't matter which year.

Kingussie can be very cold and remote in the winter. It's just off the A9 which is the main route to Inverness from the south. I pass it quite often.
Rothiemurchus still has some of the old Caledonian Forrest close by and has become a tourist spot.
I'll see if I can find some more on your family over the weekwnd.

That's interesting that you are so familiar with a place I can only dream of visiting - so far away from where I am.
I visited my great grandfather's grave interstate recently to say hello. He sounded like an interesting fellow. Here's a photo:

Hi again
Just been looking at Margaret Meldrum's baptism on the IGI (controlled extraction) and she was born a little earlier than you thought:
Margaret Meldrum bpt. 2nd September 1827, born 20 July 1827, Duthil with Rothiemurchus, Inverness
Parents - Donald Meldrum amd Katrin Chisholm (I presume the Catherine Chisholm aged 62 with them in the 1861 census).
This is also the only one showing on Scotland's People.
